The following sections show how to set up the logic analyze r and to do timing analysis using data from a simple D-type
flip-flop. Flip-flops serve as building blocks in digital systems. Although most flip-flops are buried inside complex ASICS and
other devices, they are useful for showing hardware debugging techniques using a logic analyzer. The examples in this
document use only a few channels to acquire data. However, you can use the same concepts with hundreds of channels.
